don't even think about writing a "new manifesto" unless you have read at least 50 major Marxist books and done a serious scientific Marxist analysis of the current conditions

I think the Manifesto is still pretty accurate apart from minor parts such as the immediate demands and the sections on the utopian socialists. This said, I agree with
Carson Butler
I'm not super well read, but the major changes have to do with how neoliberalist global capital has altered class stratification, not to mention one's basic relation to the mode of production as a whole. As
Said, one would have to be really heavily steeped in the work of Jameson, Deleuze, and, if one were attempting to be truly radical, Benjamin's critiques of historical materialism to even begin to think about writing a new manifesto.

Pomo is subjective idealism, idealism is reactionary and anti-Marxist.

we writin COMMUNISM 2 boys???
In all serious, if you're going to write a "new manifesto", do it in the "Principles of Communism" style. As in, make it short and easy to understand, in a "Frequently Asked Questions" format. Also, include topics such as Imperialism, Neoliberalism, and Fascism. And for fucks sake, make sure you actually know what you're talking about. Don't make it Muke-tier.

Keep the negation of negation dialectic. Toxic evolutionism is pure paganistic ideology.

Obviously making a second manisfesto would be no easy task for a random booklet to do. But i don't think this should stop anyone from trying, i even stated in the op this thred ls for making multiple subversive texts.
The first major observation we can get from this thread is the widespread feeling of impotence among modern communists. What if lenin tought he was not good enough to write about communism and never tried anything? Ive seen some really good posts on this board, we might have a new lenin somewhere, and if we don't i still think we should try our best.
Try doing some pages at home, who knows you might surprise yourself or someone else with your skills

I'm really not a hippie but the enviromental catastrophe is the biggest thing missing for me. Also that lumpens can (but not have to) fulfill a revolutionary role
I don't think so. That would be required when you want to write a new Capital maybe, but not for a pamphlet like the Manifesto
